Session Proposals

At its core, the SACNAS conference serves to equip attendees with practical training, skills, and motivation for the road ahead. Through session proposals, you can share knowledge and practical tools in an intimate and meaningful way. Moreover, session presenters position themselves as role models and mentors doing meaningful work at the intersection of STEM, equity, and inclusion. General topics may include cutting-edge science, research, and professional development. Plus be sure to explore our 2020 Featured Tracks, which include topics that will be incorporated into various activities and events throughout the conference.
